you say:
it would be enough to simply select the monk name's last private message (by clicking an appropriate checkbox), type a response inside the 'talk' input box and hit the 'talk' button to send this response message to the desired monk name monk.

usually, the checkbox is used to delete a message... so if your way was implemented, how would you delete the message? "without typing anything" you might say? (selecting the checkbox and clicking Talk)

I prefer the way it is used right now.. it's more straightforward. and as grep has noted.. you can always use the Message Inbox to do that.

He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.
